Uploading Your Website (Optional)


You may decide that you would like to upload your website to the World Wide Web and share it with the world. Check with your Internet Service Provider to see if you have access to some personal webspace. Most ISP's provide 5-20 MB of webspace as part of their basic service package. Your ISP will be able to provide information about how to create and upload your webpages and may even provide specific online tutorials that will guide you through the process.

Another option is to upload your webpages to one of the free website hosting services available on the web. The steps below will guide you through setting up an account on one of these free web hosting services.

Yahoo!'s Geocities offers free website hosting in exchange for a discreet advertising banner which is displayed on your webpages.
